Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 leek cleaned and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 head of kale chopped and divided
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 cups non dairy milk I used almond milk but coconut milk works too
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Pumpkin seeds for garnish
Kale chips
- 2 cups kale chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash and chop kale, then dry thoroughly before tossing 2 cups of it with 1 tbsp olive oil, massaging oil into leaves and seasoning with salt before spreading onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside for now.
- Melt coconut oil in a large pot on med-high heat. Saute onions, leek and garlic. Whisk in flour, then gradually add your non-dairy milk, salt and pepper, whisking until thickened.
- Stir in vegetable broth, then add broccoli, bringing to a boil then simmering for 5 min until broccoli is tender.
- Remove from heat, and stir in 2 cups of chopped kale, letting cool for about 15 min before pureeing vegetables in a blender (I used my Vitamix for this one!)
- While waiting for the soup to cool, you can make your kale chips! Bake them in the preheated oven for 7-8 min, checking and flipping them every couple minutes so they don't burn. When they're crispy, remove them from the oven and set aside to top your soup with.
- Puree your soup in a blender, then serve with pumpkin seeds and kale chips garnished on top. Enjoy!
